Gateshead has several major roads passing through it, including the A184 connecting the town to Sunderland and the A1 connecting to Edinburgh and London. The Millennium Bridge, a cyclist and pedestrian tilt bridge between Gateshead arts quarter and Newcastle's Quayside, is powered by enough electric motors to run more than eight Ford Focus cars. A clean air zone was introduced in the town in early 2023, so some vehicles have to pay to drive through the area.

A Clean Air Zone (CAZ) operates in Gateshead to improve air quality and specifically reduce public exposure to nitrogen dioxide, a pollutant produced by traditional combustion engines. This goal is achieved by encouraging the use of cleaner vehicles, such as EVs, and restricting high-pollution vehicles. Many CAZs charge drivers for entering them, though some are non-charging. Before driving in Gateshead, it's worth checking online whether you will have to pay for driving through the zone.

Renault is one of the oldest car manufacturers and has a strong connection to motorsport, competing in over 300 F1 races. In 1977, the Renault RS01 became the first Formula One car to use a turbocharger at the British Grand Prix and earned the nickname ‘yellow teapot' due to overheating issues. However, the technology took off a few years later, and turbochargers became commonplace. One of Renault's most popular and iconic models is the Clio, which earned the title of ‘Best Small Car' at the CarBuyer Best Car Awards 2022.
